Internships/Summer Programs

Birch Aquarium Internship

STARS Summer Training Academy for Research in the Sciences

The goal of STARS, a federally funded program, is to increase the numbers of underrepresented students in doctoral science programs. STARS offers an exciting research internship for undergraduate students, recent graduates and masters students in the sciences (physical, life, behavioral, marine and ocean), engineering, and math. The academy provides an opportunity to participate in an ongoing UC San Diego research project and experience the rigors of doctoral programs.

Marine Physical Laboratory Internship
College students in their junior or senior year who are considering a career in scientific research are encouraged to apply for a summer of research experience in marine science and technology at the Marine Physical Laboratory. Candidates should have a strong background in quantitative science with majors in either applied mathematics, chemistry, physics, or engineering.
